With our diverse terrain, seeing Canada on the two wheels of your bicycle can be visually stunning. To show just how amazing that experience can be, Cycling Canada and its agency Innocean Worldwide Canada worked with special effects house Alter Ego to create a swelling video that shows bikes taking to the tracks, the roads and wilderness. The catch? They did it all without any riders (check out a behind-the-scenes video below to see how Alter Ego created the effect). Through intense competition, increasing speed and rough terrain, the bikes pull through, so all that’s left is for you to “hop on.”
